Every time I think of lemons, my mouth waters.  Tangy and tart.  I love them.  And I especially love them in desserts.  And here’s the easiest lemon desert of them all:  Lemon Curd.

I have always wanted a prolific lemon tree in my yard.  One that puts out huge, delicious lemons all year ’round.  I once had a neighbor who had a Meyers lemon tree like that.  Biggest lemons you ever saw.  And best tasting as well.

Unfortunately, I live in an unusual micro climate in Northern California.  Citrus does NOT like it here.  We get a slight frost all winter long that prevents lemon trees from being very productive here.  I have tried to cover them up.  I have attempted to shelter them.  I am a pretty good gardener, but it is not happening.   No one in my neighborhood has a single citrus tree.  But drive 2 miles away, and my dear friend, Kathleen has a huge lemon tree with several orange and tangerine trees.  That’s Northern California for ya.  Micro climates.

Anyway~ back to the lemons.  Yes, I love them.  Ad yes, I like to make desserts out of them.  Here is the easiest and possible the yummiest dessert I know how to make out of lemons: Lemon Curd.  It’s a thick, silky-smooth spread or topping that can be eaten by itself or poured over any other dessert that makes you happy.  It’s slightly tart and a little bit sweet.  I HIGHLY recommend using Meyers lemons if you can get your hands on some.

And best of all:  It’s super easy to make.  In less than 10 minutes, you can be licking the spoon of your delicious, creamy lemon curd.  I hope that you enjoy it!

Easy Lemon Curd (paleo)


  • Author:
    Katja from Savory Lotus

  • Yield:
    1 and 1/2 cups 1x

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/3 cup raw honey (like this)
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (Meyer lemons are the BEST)
  • zest from 2 lemons
  • pinch of unrefined sea salt (I use this one)
  • 6 TBS coconut oil (like this) or ghee (like this) (I used half and half)

Instructions

  1. In a small pan, whisk together eggs, yolks, honey, lemon juice, salt and zest. Add fat of choice and turn heat to low.
  2. Cook on low until fat is completely melted, stirring constantly.
  3. Turn heat to medium and continue to cook and stir until mixture thickens ~ about another 5-7 minutes. You will know it is done when tiny little bubbles begin to come to the surface.
  4. Immediately strain through a sieve and refrigerate. The curd will thicken even more when it sets.
